I taught freshman composition in the morning at Central Florida Community College in Chiefland then attended middle school in Bronson Tuesday afternoon. And I was schooled.

I know that sounds strange. But it’s the truth.

I went back to middle school because my 10-year-old son, Taylor, who is in fifth grade spent 40 minutes talking to me the night before about a presentation on nicotine that he had seen by a “real scientist,” Dr. Victor DeNoble.

From the moment you ring the doorbell, there is no doubt about what drives Eden Langworthy: his family and his music.

The affable Langworthy greets guests in his bare feet and torn jeans. A tattoo in large ornate script says “Windy”, his wife of some 25 years and the person responsible for most of the words that flow from his brain to his fingertips as he writes songs inspired by those he loves and the life he lives.

With over four minutes remaining in the first quarter, the Williston Red Devils had shown their might as they took a quick 27-0 lead over Umatilla Bulldogs.

The Red Devils then inserted their second and third string players along with freshman quarterback Austin Chipoletti.

The Red Devil non starters played the entire second quarter and Chipoletti completed three straight passes on the last drive of the first half, hitting Kalen Penny for a touchdown. Chipoletti connected with Larry Debose for a two point conversion as the Red Devils held a 35-0 half time lead.
